Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 53,82,51,31 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 53,82,51,31 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,77,22,73
2 | 84, 77, 22, 73 |
7 | 42, 77, 11, 73 |
11 | 6, 11, 11, 73 |
6, 1, 1, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 11 x 6 x 1 x 1 x 73 = 67452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/84,82/77,51/22,31/73 is 1/67452
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 84,77,22,73 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,77,22,73) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 154
GCF(84,77,22,73) x common factors =1 x 154 = 154
LCM(84,77,22,73) = ( 84 × 77 × 22 × 73 ) / 154
LCM(84,77,22,73) = 10387608 / 154
LCM(84,77,22,73) = 67452
